10:01 am
called wired news live from moscow this is r t with me rule research showing countries supporting the syrian rebels need to stop sidestepping the un and demand both sides of the conflict lay down their weapons and that's the message from russia's foreign minister. said that some foreign forces are in fact al qaeda linked militants in syria to fight on. reports from new york. russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov talks about a variety of issues but clearly syria dominated his speech foreign minister lavrov says he believes and russia believes there's still an opportunity to and the conflict in crisis in syria but it will require some fierce international consensus
10:02 am
from says the international community must come together to demand a cease fire in syria by both the government and the opposition to demand the release of prisoners and hostages and allow for humanitarian assistance russia's foreign minister said that he believes that one of the very big problems is that all members that psion the geneva communiqué are not fulfilling their responsibilities and obligations he said is very important for the six point peace plan that kofi annan outlined many months ago for that peace plan to be the foundation of what there could eventually. result to the crisis that's escalating in syria but he said what is most troubling for russia is that many western countries that are supporting the opposition are only demanding for the syrian government to cease fire but are looking the other way when the syrian opposition is waging a very deadly attacks. the implementation of the geneva communiqué themselves
10:03 am
an enormous responsibility. of the government and encourage the opposition to intensify in. syria even deeper into the blood stream extremist organizations. have become in syria. against innocent civilians and civilian infrastructure because. foreign minister lavrov said another serious concern is the use of unilateral sanctions particularly by western countries he believes that these unilateral sanctions taken outside of the united nations for example on you. u.s. and european countries imposing reduces the credibility first and foremost of the security council and also can escalate humanitarian crisis for the foreign minister lavrov said that at this point it is the very time you believe for international
10:04 am
relations to come together and the credibility to not be compromised even further by their by their being many divisions within the u.n. security council on a variety of issues. and inside syria rebel he's a lot of fresh offensives in the crucial battle for the second city of aleppo in what is being called an unprecedented a sold dozens of reportedly being killed in the past twenty four hours with heavy weapons allegedly used by both sides it all comes as the u.s. sends more support worth forty five million dollars to the syrian opposition political analyst to jacob pawnbrokers says washington's determined to replace assad with a proxy at any cost. well it's a standard policy of the u.s. government it is it is designed to oust rulers of regimes that are independent of what might be called the us military empire and replace them with pro-u.s. rulers so we have the dichotomy of supporting dictators in countries that are loyal
10:05 am
to the us government and trying to oust dictators that are not loyal to the us the u.s. is committed to the ouster of the assad regime and whenever you hear that the united nations is just designed for the american taxpayer the american voter create the appearance that the u.s. is interested in spreading democracy and freedom when in fact it has a long history of supporting dictatorial regimes in saudi arabia even iran under the shah of iran syria itself don't forget that the cia used the assad regime to torture some of its rendition torture victims and so that the whatever goes on in the un is really ridiculous and senseless. all right now from syria to spain which is bracing itself for a new wave of protests as it faces its fifth austerity budget in a row despite the government's efforts the country continues to slide deep into
10:06 am
recession with the cuts proving hard to swallow for its people reporting from madrid as jack aquariums. now we've seen those demonstrators out in force throughout the course of the week on tuesday or wednesday a massive demonstrations in central madrid where thousands of people taking to the shrieks part of the so-called surround or occupy congress movement we're also seeing clashes between police and demonstrators on both occasions on tuesday night police charging down those protesters they used batters they fired rubber bullets in total sixty people being injured thirty people being detained in their accusations leveled against the police force of brutality of using excessive force in those actions that's on the back of a very austere budget we've seen in the earlier this week axing forty billion euros in terms of cuts target ministries and also see again a freeze when it comes to public sector pay thirty year that's now been enforced
10:07 am
it's all comes on the back over sixty two billion euro cut that we saw take place earlier this year largely impacting the health care and education system mail proof rootless though because spain's boring costs look the saw from nine billion euros to thirty six billion euros in two thousand and thirteen that really take a massive swipe any savings are seeing from these us their team measures. spain is also at the moment facing a crisis within a crisis because on top of everything there is those in catalonia calling for independence and separatism now this will only be adding to the worries of prime is the. catalonians feel they are being hard done to by current economic conditions that they contribute far more to madrid central budget and the ever see in return to take into account that cuts alone here is a region contributes about twenty percent of the nation's annual g.d.p. we expect that sentiment to be heard later today in the streets and central madrid
10:08 am
as with more and austerity sentiment again. the government will be forced to listen to some of that anger. are turning our attention out of out of. me in bahrain officials say the police killed one person in self-defense when their patrol was attacked and here the capital but opposition activists claimed the seventeen year old victim was taking part in a peaceful protest which was fired upon by authorities and thousands took to the streets on friday with fresh calls for the resignation of the unelected prime minister who has been in power since nine hundred seventy one and allegedly opposes democratic reform and government protests have been constant across the country since february last year police crackdown left dozens killed with key opposition leaders thrown behind bars let's get some reaction now from former bahraini m.p. so. it's very good to see you sir thank you for coming on our team today the
10:09 am
bahraini government claims to be implementing reforms but what actually has it done and why are people still on the streets and still protesting. q. . was going on and. on. proctor they are calling for real calling for real justice in our country and this is. always faced let's say or act. with excessive force which end up killing people like what's happened last night for the same. seventeen years he killed by all the charts last night so let's address one of the issues here i mean certainly syria has been on the radar for
10:10 am
a lot of our western nations for about eighteen nineteen months a similar amount of time as well of protests and demonstrations in bahrain except most of the western powers including the united nations are ignoring human rights abuses and violence in bahrain why is that do you think. actually we believe we take this as a. we are not going to act against the authenticity is a violation by. my own violation we insist in taking our role all politics and through peaceful process. and. this of course a long time makes the offer to take their time to use all the power and using the let's say solution which is not political solution but it
10:11 am
is security solution and this will not reach to a happy end because people have their demands on sort of ignoring. our demands this so also just having elected government. other. countries who are taking the opinion towards one minister for example in our country there is no justice there is this discrimination there is. unfair in all sectors in our country of this. policy by the off that it is because they don't like people demands and they want to keep everything in their hands i missed almost sorry if i can just jump in just for a moment here i do apologize i'm running a bit low on time but i want to ask you one question here aside from you describing
10:12 am
peaceful protests and apart from you saying there is discrimination on many many many levels when it comes to those who are calling for change and democracy one issue is that of regional interests the united states of america hauser's this middle east naval headquarters in bahrain how far do you thing wasn't and is prepared to go to defend its interests in the country. up to know what we saw from the united states they are trying to send voices the authorities in a very soft way and they concentrate on human rights issues but not on political issues roiled the political issues is the cause of all these violations because the government did not. accept all our demands are politically wind they are taking all their actions against us and
10:13 am
in violating our safety violating our rights our freedom of expression threatening people all this need from the international community to put their pressure on our authority to give people their rights as a democrat democracy nothing else we did not call for a religious state for example we are calling for the democrats see as a methodology to have all our rights and buy her a prime lie from behind a former n.p.r. science. we thank you very much for coming on our team today a great pleasure. thank you. while still ahead for you in this hour here on r.t. disillusioned and disenfranchised. i think that's when young people go sometimes they get off the roads because they have nothing to do use unemployment in the u.k. is at a crisis of levels or for why the efforts to tackle it are just not working that

10:15 am
mother my mother is seventy five she's very old and i miss mountains when i'm in town and i spend a lot of time here right now probably so on the surveys are simply carrying out the work that his father did and his father before him nothing has changed over many many centuries and that's half the problem it's hard work and many people don't want to come into the industry now and it's really fit there could die out altogether. it's difficult to manage everything alone i used to have people who helped me but they were no good they didn't take care of the sheep with all their heart they hurt the cattle. with new people leaving them coming to the countryside the region's government is having to act making the life of the herd in my track to their promising largest. and lie still cause an organizing cooperatives for the sale of de products to ensure the herd it gets a high at fair price i sympathize with those youngsters leaving for an easier more profitable life they in their publics capital because the old so he no longer

wishes to join them he enjoys his pastoral way of life and looking for a helper who shares his enthusiasm but more time on his hands he says matter of fact he can start to look for a new wife. six fifteen pm on saturday here in moscow this is our turning our attention to georgia now where tens of thousands of opposition activists have gathered for a pre election rally it's their last a big meeting before the country takes to the polls on monday to vote for its next parliament the opposition is looking to steal some seats away from president saakashvili is ruling party the united national movement which does control eighty percent of the chamber the party is still ahead in the polls but has lost some popularity recently in light of corruption allegations and
10:17 am
a notorious prison abuse scandal footage leaked last week shed light on the gruesome mistreatment of invades by guards at one of the country's jails two ministers stepped down over the outrage as thousands of activists demanded justice come for a bit of a blow to saakashvili he's been in power since two thousand and four i do stay with our two for the latest our comprehensive coverage of the georgian election. you. know every fourth person under the age of twenty five in britain is currently out of work and despite government efforts many young people say they're just no real opportunities available for them so often investigate sarah. picture the scene nothing to do and nowhere to go. no money and no prospects but this is not a film plot this is the reality for millions of young people all across britain always constantly in the mouth rolls which is
10:18 am
a film production company of this working and training young people. media and communications that is a really good way for a lot of people who are looking for jobs to come develop communication skills unfortunately across london in very much depends on which bar you live in as to whether these types of services are available to young people because of this he got this opportunity to come a little bit different this thing just give. people a lot of anything it is a big issue a big issue. then i think that's when young people go off sometimes they can go off the roads because they have nothing to do job prospects a bleak one is full sixteen to twenty four year olds in britain right now are out of work and the capital's been hit particularly hard for everyone just. three to four weeks.
10:19 am
and if you really. love the immediate reasons or economic east unemployment has been a growing issue for more than a decade and it's called far reaching cultural implications do you think is the recession this is such an issue that people get jobs there isn't this. just a recession i mean because there is there is jobs out there i mean i saw my friends of going into shops that have signs in their windows and then they get turned down straight away and you're on a c.v. just gets put to the side so. why why why is the reason for that because we're going jeans and not trousers so what's being done to address the problem the government pulls out providing a billion pounds of funding the schemes aimed at getting young people into work but by the ballot it's an organization aimed at getting young people politically
10:20 am
engaged see that that's alone won't be enough all these wonderful things coming out but they're not telling anyone about it and that's a problem. young people who are looking for apprenticeships are sending out with something like three thousand job applications and not hearing back at all and that's just ridiculous really so what they need to do is come down to the channels where young people are facebook twitter all the social media streams brashly beyond door to door when people knock on your door and talk about politics or your parents that that's not what we need anymore we need to go we're here to talk to you instead and i think that's that's what they need to do anything to start really. demographic in fact. the word repeated consistently by the young people we met lucky enough to have. you know we've been trying for that you have. you know if the government is put there for us to do and
10:21 am
have a variety of. you know you from. the. sector but what's hollywood may love a happy ending the reality is the young people in london right now that might be a little hard to come by their. london of course already has come to life in the heart of moscow or the united states has removed the militant iranian opposition group from its list of foreign terrorist organizations originally one of the main players in the iranian revolution is now committed to the overthrow of the current iranian government international affairs and defense analyst. the u.s. is seeking to create an ally inside the country. this group. has been very successful apparently to get the support of my birth from both the republican and democratic parties. as well as is work of military.
10:22 am
and also there is another issue not the washing up by fight these groups the useful it seems that they have used to be the new so feet that sees these two thousand and seven to try to this. situation apparently equilibration we face really secret service. they have used this group to conduct the assassination so for dr scientistic to carry out all their acts of sabotage the group is they they're going to be secular. people. power. they are going to go back to their own roots which she said is it took six weeks off marxism a long. anybody who is a critic of the current government of iran i would say that it's child's play compared to what the government if you were i would be run by the. now as the

internet becomes more readily available across the arab world it's giving rise to a generation of hackers we go to break free of government censorship but the help of cyber weapons but as artie's polis live reports some activists could end up being used by the author already as to pull the strings and promote their agendas. each day across the world millions of fingers fly across keyboards with the power to break through some of the toughest security fire walls this is the most powerful weapon streams of darter flashing across the computer screens of the world in the blink of an eye information that can promote provoke and agitate people. who are not i mean. physically attacking a little and that's why you will find a lot of hearkens grown up in this politicians of the region and this time the arab

spring gave birth to a new generation of hakka they polish the skills in bypassing government controls to speak out it's very popular in countries where you know websites are banned and there are restraints on websites mostly in gulf countries they start by using proxies and other stuff to access private websites and then they grow on it and the girl with this knowledge this growth of knowledge is being put to work in jordan a leader in information technology in the arab world like other governments and man has introduced new laws to try and expose this new generation of hackers with power in the hands some people would do this. because it's powerful you can't neglect the fact that it is powerful when when when a facebook page is giving one opinion and it's nobody knows that it starts giving the other opinion but it's to them this is a very very strong way to to reach out to all these people you know to convince

10:26 am
arab spring into outcomes that are not going to be threatening to western capitalism and to us geopolitics and it's really geopolitics in the region history is littered with western governments using n.g.o.s and groups to advance their interests and more recently with the electronic media and social networks they employ but the angry demonstrations have rocked the arab world after the you tube clip of the innocence of muslims traded when viral shows yet again how the west sometimes feels victim to the very same activity it promotes policy r.t. . and i will come to you live from moscow it's a pleasure to have you with us today if you can wait just a couple of moments so we'll be diving headfirst into the world of gadgets and gizmos with artie's technology that. this is the legacy no one should be proud. of scrap metal littering pristine arctic
